Back to the Baltimore Orioles Newsfeed

No 'experts' expect the Orioles to win the AL East. Most think they'll finish last.

As you probably already know by now, baseball's advanced analytics do not much like the Orioles this season.

But computers don't have feelings (except in "Ex Machina," but sadly, I don't think Alicia Vikander cares about Wins Above Replacement). They are unswayed my emotion. Servers have memory, but not memories. That's what separates us from a web of code: Human beings are given to sentimentality.

Like, remember the past four baseball seasons? When the Orioles won more games than any other American League team? The AL Championship Series appearance in 2014?
